Holy Barracuda, Batman!

It's already JULY?!?! When did this happen??? What happened to May? Heck, what happened to April? Time is flying around here and I can't seem to stop it or at least slow it down. The good thing about time flying is that I officially have only 11 more nights of grad school and then I'm done. Finished. Done-zo. I can't even begin to tell you what a blessing it has been for me to go to school full-time and not have anything else major requiring my attention. I also can't even begin to tell you how much I miss being in the classroom and sharing my life with 25+ kids. If there's one thing that God has made clear to me over the past 2 years, it's that He made me to work with kids. I cannot wait to {hopefully} be in the classroom again this upcoming school year - prayers for that are appreciated!!!

Something else I can't wait to have back are my nights. Night class is such a bummer, especially when you're in it for 4 nights a week, 4 hours each class. I know, I know, suck it up! This girl needs to just sulk and whine for a second. I can honestly tell you that this past year and a half of grad school has been totally worth it. I have learned so many things about how to work with struggling readers, how to set up reading and writing in my classroom, even just how to be a better teacher all around. I'm just itching to start reading groups and work on word sorts. Exciting, isn't it??? ;)

Anyhoo...there's a lot of excitement and craziness coming up in the lives of this crazy lady and her loving husband. I'll fill 'ya in on all of it sometime next week when I have the time and stamina to keep up with the craziness. Until then, if I don't talk to you, have a great 4th of July. We're laying low this weekend; recovering from the past four weekends of fun-filled hectic-ness. Ride a boat, shoot off some fireworks, grill out and layout this weekend for us!

So normally I would say that I have NOTHING worth typing about that anyone would be interested in reading, however, with all the change that is upon my life, why not write about it? This blog is for those who are bored and are curious of all the craziness that is to come in the next couple of months as my life goes from quiet and scheduled to somewhat hectic. Read on to find out the adventures as a girl who was used to living in a small town adjusts to life in the big city *YIKES!
